The Los Angeles Chargers had a chance to walk away from Sunday’s home opener vs. the Miami Dolphins with their first victory of the season and the newest highest-scoring tight end in NFL history.

In real Chargers fashion, the team instead fell 19-17 after rookie kicker Younghoe Koo missed a go-ahead field goal with five seconds remaining in the game. The loss dropped L.A. to 0-2 and spoiled tight end Antonio Gates’ record-setting 112th touchdown catch.

The Chargers were leading 17-13 after three quarters, but the Dolphins drove the ball down the field on their two offensive possessions in the fourth, and kicker Cody Parkey hit two field goals to give Miami the lead heading into the final minute.

Starting quarterback Philip Rivers managed to drive down 54 yards and put Koo in position to hit a game-winning field goal, but he missed. It was the second consecutive week the team has fallen on a failed field goal after Koo’s game-tying try was blocked as time expired last week in Denver.

While most of the blame for the loss will be pointed to Koo’s kick, the Bolts were leading for a majority of the game and had chances to put it away before the fourth quarter even began.

Meanwhile, one sign for concern was how the Chargers struggled to get running back Melvin Gordon and the running game going. The third-year running back rushed nine times for only 13 yards.

Rookie coach Anthony Lynn has made it clear that he wants to lean on the ground game, but to a certain point in Sunday’s game he needed to abandon the run, and to his credit he did.

However, Gordon’s struggles is a head scratcher for Chargers fans, and his production could have helped put the game away. The Bolts will need to find a way to solve the struggles they’ve had with the run game.

On the other hand, the team might have made a mistake going with Koo rather than former kicker Josh Lambo. While South Korea native Koo does give the team a weapon in the marketing department, his misses on field goal attempts are making them pay the price in the standings.

For a team looking to establish a foothold in a new and very competitive market, 0-2 is not a good start.
